A couple of cuttings from the Daily Record of 8th April 1964 about the area heat for the Macbeat competition.
The Original Corvettes progressed to the area final which was won by the Mavericks.
The overall competition was eventually won by The Apaches as documented elsewhere on Rockingscots.

The group more or less finished in 1966. Cover bands were struggling against the new phenomenon of discotheques.

Alan, Geoff, Jack & John in 2010.

Alan is in Australia, Jack is a hotelier in The Borders, Geoff is still
playing down south, and John went from bass guitar to DJing
and occasionally will do a set at Kelburne Cricket Club Paisley..

John relates: I started spinning discs at various
venues with my home built twin SP25 MkII turntable box Vortexion 50/70
solid state amp with 100V line output
powering home built column speakers with sound controlled coloured spots
built in. The sound to light electronics were designed and built at
Paisley Tech
with Thyristors from Westinghouse (they never knew!) and a motorised oil
wheel built into my Dad's Aldis Lamp slide projector.
Our stuff was on a par with a company starting out called Lee Lighting who are
now mega.
That lasted until I could not stand having to play Slade and the like
plus the pressure from an engineering business that I and others had started
in Barrhead (1971 till 2005) called PLADE. The good news is that I still
have the best disco records of the late 60s which are collectors items now
thanks to Ebay.
